Many websites are creating social bookmarking buttons that appear as small icons or links that are either placed at the corner of a web page or at the bottom of the screen view. This allows every visitor to add it along with the bookmark present in the browser and it then can be used to add the page within the accounts of social bookmarking websites.

It is necessary to register with social bookmarking websites before using them. This allows the user to publish the online bookmarks links to all of the bookmarked web pages. It also allows all users of a site to share the links and bookmark them if they lie within their personal area of interest.
